Still encountering this annoying bug on my testing (trixie) system
(main computer)

However I am unable to remove the libopenblas0-pthread:amd64 0.3.23+ds-
2 package without destroying my operating system (too many programs
depend on it)

so I use the "-l" thumbnailer option workaround as mentioned earlier in
this thread, which works.

I also confirm that the bug is not found in a vanilla Gnome desktop
Debian 12 installation.

Greetings

Fred.
